Can A certain video camera hook-up to Final Cut Express for a Mac?
I have a tiger computer. I just bought a new camcorder that is panasonic hard-drive. It is the model SDR-H40P. I'm pretty sure it does not have firewire and only has a USB connector.
Is Final Cut Express compatible with USB cords?
Is Final Cut Express compatible with Hard-drive video camcorder.
Is there such thing as a USB to Firewire adapter?
Thank You for answering!
You won't import the video directly from the camcorder into FinalCut.
Connect the camcorder to the Mac with USB. The camcorder should be in "Play" or "VCR" mode. The hard drive should mount like any other external hard drive. Copy the video files to one of the Mac's hard drives. Since you did not tell us which Mac or which version of FinalCut, you can try launching FinalCut and dragging a video file into the Log/Capture area. If it imports, cool. If not, you need to convert the video file with StreamClip. Go to the apple.com downloads area and search for StreamClip... Download and install. Launch StreamClip and convert the file to something FinalCut (or iMovie) likes... .mov, .mp4, .dv are the usual suspects... Once converted, launch FinalCut and dragging a video file into the Log/Capture area. While you are at the Apple site, go to the Discussions: FinalCut area and put in your camcorder's model number and see what others have to say...
To answer you questions directly:
It is the model SDR-H40P. I'm pretty sure it does not have firewire and only has a USB connector.
That camcorder uses ONLY USB for file transfer.
Is Final Cut Express compatible with USB cords?
Since FinalCut does not import hard drive or flash memory media camcorder video data files directly, this question is irrelevant.
Is Final Cut Express compatible with Hard-drive video camcorder.
Yes.
Is there such thing as a USB to Firewire adapter?
Yes, there is such a thing but they do not work for what you want to do and you do not need one. Firewire is used to transfer/import video from miniDV tape based camcorders - and certain JVC hard drive camcorders with a DV port.
